Step inside a renovated Georgian town house
Take a room-by-room tour around beautiful Homes & Gardens readers' homes. This week we look inside this gorgeous reinvented Georgian town house for stunning decorating inspiration. Be inspired by this 1840s town house in Belgravia.
This glamorous dining room, off the entrance hall, was designed for evening entertaining, with deep, rich colours and a bespoke table in macassar ebony.

2/8 Living room
This impressive living room is flooded with light from its large windows. Matching sofas flank the focal point created by the fireplace, which was added along with cornicing in keeping with the proportions and period of the room.
The sofas and bench are from Donghia, the dimpled ottoman is from Peter Dudgeon.
3/8 Hallway
This stone-floored hallway sets the tone for the entire house creating an immediate mood of contemporary elegance with classical notes.
This bespoke console table is from Kate Bingham Interior Design.
4/8 Kitchen-diner
The kitchen was in good condition when they moved in, but benefitted from a slight facelift. The units were inherited from the previous owner and a new set of doors has given them a fresh lease of life.
